Background
Meraii was born into a small village amidst the trees of the Golmore Jungle along with her brother. Though through a twist of fate and the stars themselves- she found herself growing up amidst the Vii's of the First Shard. After training and hunting sineaters for decades to fulfill her assigned "purpose", she ached for any way to return home- no matter the cost.
Now; after returning to The Source; she looks for new meaning and paths for her life to take. She chooses to live the rest of her life as she sees fit, free from the influence and dictates of anyone else.
Personality
Meraii is hard to impress- and even harder to keen engaged; finding most people boring or simply uninteresting. Many often regard her as cold, or even unfeeling at times. Yet a tilt of her head and an intoxicating smile seem to betray that. Perhaps you may find out which side is real; though you may regret it.
Her highest drive in the world is to live freely as she deems decides; she does not take kindly to others directing her decisions or removing her agency.
Lightwarden Mania
Those of the first would tell you that no greater threat existed than that of the Lightwardens: powerful sineaters that controlled the flood of light in Norvrandt.In an act of desperation, the Crystal Exarch sought to bring warriors from beyond their star to find salvation for not only his world, but the Source. Though He had missed his intended target in Meraii's summoning, there was no way to see her home until the calamity had been averted.Meraii and her summoned counterparts were raised and trained with the sole purpose of destroying the Lightwardens: aptly referred to by the people of the First as the 'Warriors of Darkness'. However; despite their training and preparation; many of these warriors fell short- succumbing to the light held within these monsters and becoming such themselves.Lightwarden Philia was the quarry of one such warrior of darkness. Upon it's defeat, the warrior was instead reborn into the entity known as Lightwarden Mania.After successfully felling her own Lightwarden in Qitana Ravel, Meraii turned her sights to Mania; seeking to bring rest to her friend's soul.
RP Hooks
Flood of Light
Meraii has an extremely high level of primordial light aether in her body. Anyone sensitive to aether would feel it easily within her vicinity. Those unlucky enough to see it would be nearly blinded by the sheer volume and density.
Holistic Healer
While living amongst the Viis of the First; she showed little aptitude for the magical arts. But though her ability to bend the elements to her own will was weak, her ability to manipulate it's threads wasn't. As such, she was taught in the physical medicines, helping the body heal naturally by working on aether within the body- rather than outside it.
Crystalline Form
The cracks and veins the run through her body are made of the purest crystal- eerily similar to that of the Crystal Tower. Now and again they seem to glow and breathe, almost as if alive.
